Bible Question:
Weren't the virgins pure, so why were the not let in? Why didn't the wise virgins share when asked (vv 8-9)? They only said there MAY not be enough. Steve |
Bible Answer: The scriptures say why.They were foolish! and not wise. Foolish in thier expectations. The church has changed this pasage to mean the saved and the unsaved and while in a very limited way it can be used as such.The primary message is to the church. A virgin is by any sense of the word a God given state. Paul In romans talking about the unsaved speaks a s one who is married to another.Yet speaking of the church as a chaste and espoused bride. In all truth then the 10 virgins speaks of saved and christians. They five were not lost they were foolish and not wise.Now in ALL other matters save one they were as the 5 wise. All had thier lamps lit.ALL were waiting for the groom.ALL fell asleep.ALL heard the cry.ALL got up.The foolishness was in that thier vessels were empty. Thus they had to go and get ready first.While the others had got themselves ready. Now when they had come back the door was closed(see at the river jordon exodus)and they were told "I KNOW you not" and were barred from the MARRIAGE. On the day of judgement The words are "I NEVER knew you"and they were barred from the KINGDOM. Thus the 5 foolish virgins were UNRECOGNISABLE as the BRIDE.and so were barred from the marriage.
